2 Palestinians kidnapped by IOF settlers defile Islamic sites

Monday 6-February-2017

The Israeli occupation forces at daybreak Monday kidnapped two Palestinians from eastern Nablus at the same time as Israeli settlers broke into Islamic holy shrines in the area.

Palestinian youngsters Mohamed Bishkar and Bassem al-Afghani were kidnapped by the IOF from their family homes in Askar al-Jadeed camp in eastern Nablus.

At the same time hundreds of Israeli settlers stormed Nablus’s southeastern town of Ourata and performed sacrilegious rituals in Islamic holy shrines.

Overnight the IOF cordoned off traffic circles in western Jenin province in the northern West Bank before they stormed al-Tiba town where Palestinians had been subjected to intensive questioning. The IOF reportedly wreaked havoc on Palestinian commercial shops.

The occupation troops further set up checkpoints across the Jenin-Haifa road and inspected Palestinian vehicles driving in the area.
